P: Why be disgusted with the people who are not appreciative of
masterworks? It's a waste of energy. Instead, put that energy into
providing experiences in a genre people understand to work toward
creating consumers of good music. The Beatles led many people into the
study of music modes - because they used 'em!
Ooops, soapbox is getting cracks, I'd better get down!
